The Objective • To effectively and efficiently develop roughly 1800 units of quality housing in the private sector within 2 years.
Impediments to Quality Development Rural, small town environment – Pulaski County and five small towns Lack of public support for zoning and building codes (issue defeated in 1997) Infrastructure issues – need to encourage development in areas with basic public facilities and services.
The Community Response • Stand up a Local Organization (11 member board): The Fort Leonard Wood Regional Commerce and Growth Association: • Cities and County • Business Leadership • School Board • Utilities • Fort Leonard Wood (ex-officio) • State of Missouri (ex-officio)
Funding Sources • Office of Economic Adjustment - critical to the success of the project • State of Missouri – cash match and administrative support in grant management
Communication was Key • Regular monthly Board meetings including information packets and “Leadership Group” meetings as needed • Finding support in the formal and “informal” power structures • Meeting the press head on
Growth Management Plan • Use of a set procurement process to attract a quality design firm (made possible by OEA) • A plan for the entire County – planning charrettes in each city and county • Priority Development Areas • Incentives for compliance
Goal of the GMP • Create a workable plan to accommodate anticipated growth and preserve the quality of life, economic health, natural beauty and resources of Pulaski County • Encourage growth in and around existing cities and public resources
GMP: Growth Areas • Area #1: Infill Development Opportunities (approval required - incentives available) • Area #2: Immediate Growth Areas (approval required - incentives available) • Area #3: Future Growth Areas • Area #4: Rural Conservation Areas Source: Growth Management Plan, 1997
New Development • Worked to involve the builders • RCGA Board approval of area and plan – Area 1 or 2 and compliance with CABO 95 • State of Missouri Provided incentives for infrastructure Development • Capture Goal was 65% - Pulaski County got 85%
How Region Helped Installation • Major Army concern – sufficient, quality off-post housing • Army couldn’t fix • Helped addressing other issues • Schools • Transportation • One primary interface to all communities and regional government entities
How Installation Helped Region • Active ex-officio membership • Provided on-post office space • Shared the numbers • Communities need to know how many are coming and their demographics • Everyone needs to know numbers will change • Publish best estimates at least quarterly • Shared regional vision • What’s good for one is good for all • Was willing to advocate at State level
